Was just going through results archives to update my title defence list on the WCW / WWE Cruiserweight Title and noticed this result at <a href='http://www.lordsofpain.net/reports/nitro/nitro3-27-00.html' target='_blank'>http://www.lordsofpain.net/reports/nitro/n...tro3-27-00.html</a>

Match 1: Cruiserweight Title Match: Mike Modest vs. Prince Iaukea

Prince and Modest lock up, Modest decks Prince, and Prince jumps right back up, Modest whips Prince into the ropes, Prince bounces back and kicks Modest down. Modest throws Prince to the outside, and dominates him, Chavo Guerrero Jr. and Chris Candido both come out. Tony tells us Sid isn't here, but he has put a bounty on Hulk Hogan, $500,000. Modest has Prince up on the inside and drops him down, Modest covers Prince, and almost wins, but not close enough, Prince with a samoan drop on Modest, Modest knocks Chavo off the apron, Modest picks Prince up and drops him with a back slide piledriver, and covers…and WINS THE TITLE….While Chavo and Candido brawl around.

Winner: New Cruiserweight Champion: Mike Modest

Now, I was thinking, ah, non-title match at first but then noticed that I had this result listed in my results:

I'm thinking that either the guy listing the results got it wrong or there were some circumstances surrounding the match to nullify the title change. Does anybody remember this episode of Nitro from nearly 5 years ago??? I know this seems unlikely but is there any way to actually find out? Anybody know any other results sources with Nitro results etc.?

I remember it, and it was for the title. because The Artist said to Mike and 2 other guys, that he wanted to give one of them a title shot because he felt Candido and Chavo weren't worthy opponents anymore (or something to that effect). He picked Modest and things went down like you said, but the next week The title was still on The Artist and no one ever mentioned Modest's win or any house show loss. I have no idea what happened.

So, all Iaukea's defences up to the Mike Modest one were okay. The Modest change seems to just have been ignored even though it happened live on Nitro (27th March).
Thunder was taped on Wed. 29th March and Kidman had a match vs. Harris Bros. - <a href='http://www.lordsofpain.net/reports/thunder/thunder3-29-00.html' target='_blank'>http://www.lordsofpain.net/reports/thunder...der3-29-00.html</a>

The title change on Thu. 30th to Kidman must have been a house show which would explain why I don't have the result listed. I've only found limited house shows for WCW.

EDIT - The 31st March title change was on a Fri. Wasn't a PPV or special event.

I got the information from this site : <a href='http://www.ddtdigest.com/features/histcrui.htm' target='_blank'>http://www.ddtdigest.com/features/histcrui.htm</a>

Billy Kidman [3] d. the artist formerly known as Prince Iaeuka (03/30) - BaltimoreHouse Show match, never mentioned on air

the artist formerly known as Prince Iaeuka [2] d. Kidman (03/31) - PittsburghHouse Show match, never mentioned on air

Here are the House Show results from Puttsburgh, PA - <a href='http://www.ddtdigest.com/updates/h0000276.htm' target='_blank'>http://www.ddtdigest.com/updates/h0000276.htm</a>

At the beginning of the night, David Penzer informed us of the Cruiserweight Title switch last night. So for one night, we got to see Cruiserweight Champion Billy Kidman. Sounds nice, eh? In any case, Kidman (w/ Torrie) lost to the Artist (w/ Paisley) after his weak DDT from the second rope, although he actually hit most of it this time. The Artist regains the CW Title.

But for the Baltimore house show - <a href='http://www.ddtdigest.com/updates/h0000274.htm' target='_blank'>http://www.ddtdigest.com/updates/h0000274.htm</a>
